To fix the issue where parallax scroll or fixed background images are not working on mobile for a website created with Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Check the device preview: Begin by checking the device preview in Webflow's Designer tool to see if the parallax scroll or fixed background images are working properly on mobile devices. This will help you determine if the issue is specific to mobile devices or if it is a general problem.
Use correct units: Make sure that you are using the correct units for the elements containing the parallax scroll or fixed background images. Webflow uses percentages for scrolling interactions, so ensure that your background images are set to cover the element using the "Container" or "Section" elements, and that you are using percentage values for the position.
Ensure proper element hierarchy: Check that the elements containing the parallax scroll or fixed background images are properly nested within the appropriate elements. For parallax scroll effects, the image or element that needs to have the effect should be nested within the parent element that has the scrolling interaction applied.
Enable overflow settings: It is important to make sure that the parent element containing the parallax scroll or fixed background image has its overflow property set to "hidden". This will ensure that the scrolling effect works as intended on mobile devices.
Use appropriate interaction settings: Ensure that the scrolling interaction settings are appropriate for the parallax scroll or fixed background image effect. For example, if you are using the "while scrolling in view" interaction trigger, make sure that the percentage scroll distance at which the effect starts and ends is set correctly.
Test on different mobile devices: It is crucial to thoroughly test the website on various mobile devices and screen sizes to ensure that the parallax scroll or fixed background images are working as expected. Different devices may have varying levels of support for these effects.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue where parallax scroll or fixed background images are not working on mobile for your website created with Webflow.
